Hi thexmen,
seems like we got the same problem and
are looking for the same solutions... I
have looked through my local book store
and found nothing much on gad or cbt...
Sigh..

Okay the way you two were talking about it
made me think that gad was a solution to
anxiety. Sorry about that.
I cannot find cbt in my area either so
don't feel bad. And as I said I bought
the sam orbitz book that everyone talks so
highly about here and it really was
disappointing to me. If you find a
self-help book that works please let me
know.

I suffered from panic attacks before I
learned how to use the cbt tools to help
myself get rid of the attacks and my
depression. I had them throughout the
month but they definitely spiked around my
periods. I was in a cbt group and you may
want to try and find one in your area
because I think it would help you. We
used the obitz book and another really
good book called mastery of your anxiety
and panic-third edition by michelle craske
and david barlow in my group and I
recommend both of those books all the
time. They are both cheap (about $15) and
available online at www.Tao3.Com for the
obitz book and at www.Amazon.Com forthe
craske-barlow one.

The obitz book is my favorite starter book
on cbt as it is short and simple and gives
you the cbt essentials without
overwhelming you. I have not read the
other book that haley mentioned but she
recommends it all the time and I assume it
would be good too and I think she said it
is a short book too, but I am not sure
about that? Lastly "feeling good" by
david burns is a great book but can be a
little overwhelming for a first book on
cbt.
Good luck!

I searched for obitz via amazon.Com and
can't find. May I have the exact name of
this book. Thanks.

It is been there done that, do this.. But
don't waste your money.
These "tools" are really only one tool and
it is very self-explanatory. Save
yourself the 12 bucks and pm me if you
want the info. I can just explain it to
you.

i think you have to order the obitz book
through the book's website (www.Tao3.Com).
It's a great introductory book to cbt and
most people like the book a lot but if you
want a more detailed book get burn's book
"feeling good" they are my two favorite
cbt books.
